AMP Energy Juice Contest

So we have contests galore going on right now... Well not really, there's two in the last week or so. This one is from AMP Energy Drink and is designed to promote their new lineup of 100% juice energy drinks. I have yet to try them (samples are on the way) but I can give you a little bit of teaser information. The new AMP Energy Juice Drinks come in single serve resealable plastic bottles. They are supposed to have all the power of a normal AMP but contain 100% juice. That's pretty much all I know until I try one of the two available AMP Energy Juice Flavors - Orange and Mixed Berry.

Crunk Mango Peach Energy Drink Review:
So the people from Crunk, or maybe the King of Crunk himself has introduced a new flavor of Crunk Energy Drink... that flavor is Mango Peach. The new flavor completes the other four offerings which include: Grape Acai, Citrus, Crunk Sugar Free and Original. The new flavor as well as the others all come in 16 ounce cans (some flavors still available in 8 ounce cans). Crunk has been around since 2004, and to date, I have enjoyed all the flavors. Let's see if the new Crunk Mango Peach does the trick.

Crunk Mango Peach Energy Drink Review: Taste
First off I want to say that taste is subjective... People enjoy different flavors more than others and they also have different taste palates. For me, I am not the biggest fan of sweet energy drinks, but again to each their own. Regardless, the Mango flavor has enjoyed huge growth in the energy category over the last couples years and it looks like Crunk is poised to take advantage of this. So what does it taste like? Well, Mango Peach is true to the other flavors in that it is highly carbonated, which IMHO takes a little bitter of the sweetness and bitterness away... a good thing. Upon first taste, you get a instant rush of sweet mango flavor, followed by a rush of a subtle yet sweet peach flavor. Again I am not normally a fan of sweet drinks, but this new concoction by Crunk was not over the top sweet, but it was refreshing. There was no medicinal aftertaste whatsoever as the first rush of mango quelled any notions of bitterness. To sum up, I had no problem finishing all 16 ounces in a couple short minutes. While not my favorite in the Crunk lineup, the new Mango Peach flavor is a great addition to the family. Taste Rating - 8.8

Crunk Mango Peach Energy Drink Review: Kick
So the new concoction is sweet and was thoroughly enjoyed by this reviewer. But did it give me the get up and go I needed to get me through the afternoon lull? Well the energy ingredients seem to stay true to the rest of the lineup... meaning there is 192 milligrams of caffeine, green tea, guarana extract (natural caffeine) as well as Horny Goat weed, N Acetyl L-Cysteine, Ginkgo Biloba (leaves), Panax Ginseng (root), Grape seed extract, Skull Cap (whole plant), White Willow (bark), Ashwagandha (Root), Milk Thistle (seed). So yeah it does the trick of keeping a fella awake. Where does it fall in terms of the competition? Right in the middle of the pack. It is far from weak, but seems to stick to the normal industry standards of around 200 milligrams of caffeine per 16 ounces. Kick Rating - 8.6

Crunk Mango Peach Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
After all is said and done, the new Crunk Mango Peach makes a nice addition to the family. You can pick up the 16 ounce variations at most convenience stores as well as purchase in bulk online. The cost for one of these is the standard $2.00. If you want to see where the nearest location is to buy any Crunk flavors, the official web site has a nice Crunk Locator that will point you in the right direction. Final Judgment - 8.8

Generator Energy Shot Review:
So completely exhausted this morning after being sick the past couple days... which makes it a perfect time to review another Energy Shot. So today's victim, I mean shot is the Generator Energy Shot from Rhino Mike. Who is Rhino Mike? Well I researched their site, but I was not able to figure it out? Maybe they are talking about the MMA Fighter? If anyone knows please feel free to chime in below in the comments section. Anyways, back to the review... When I was researching the Generator Energy Shot I saw statements such as "The Perfect Energy Drink" and "14 cutting edge energy supplements" and "Generator fans have reported up to 12 hours of increased energy." Well, this little 2 ounce shot is a prime candidate for review. So let's put it to the test.

Generator Energy Shot Review: Taste
To me a perfect Energy Drink has to at least have a decent taste. Albeit not the deciding factor for me... it does help. So the label on the 2 ounce Generator shot bottle says "tropical blend." I may have to disagree with this statement. Although there is a blend, it did not taste tropical. There were fruity and somewhat tasty hints of flavoring, but there was a pretty strong medicinal aftertaste. The aftertaste was not so bitter where I wouldn't consider drinking one of these shots everyday... at least as long as it performed good in the kick category. Taste Rating - 7.7

Generator Energy Shot Review: Kick
So the taste was less than stellar, but will the kick "powered by 14 cutting edge supplements" be what I am looking for? Will it keep me pumped up for 12 hours as it did for other Generator Fans? Well, I am still pretty groggy from being sick the last couple days, so Generator has an uphill battle. Regardless the 14 "cutting edge supplements" include somewhat standard energy shot ingredients. The complete list of energy ingredients is: Acetyl L-Carnitine, B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6, B12, Beta-Alanine, Caffeine, Glucuronolactone, Inositol, Niacin, L-Arginine, L-Phenylalanine, N-Acetyl L Tyrosine, Panax Ginseng and Taurine. Although a lot of these ingredients are somewhat standard, I don't think I have seen them all present in a single energy shot before. So was the little 2 ounce Generator Shot able to pick my lazy sick ass out of bed and keep me motivated at work? You bet it was. The kick was fast and furious and lasted for several hours. Now I didn't experience 12 hours of energy, but I am probably far from your typical user as I pump myself full of caffeine in pretty much any form I can get it. Still, a great kick. Kick Rating - 9.0

Generator Energy Shot Review: Final Judgment
Well it may not be the perfect energy drink for me as I was not the biggest fan of the taste (albeit, taste is subjective). Nonetheless it performed in the category that counts the most... kick. Besides online, I am not sure where you can pick these up. Through the Generator store, you can pick up a 12 pack for $28 shipped to your door. So that equates to a little over $2 per bottle which seems to be pretty standard nowadays when buying in bulk. If you know where else you can get this shot feel free to chime in below in the comments section. Final Judgment - 8.7
